Minnesota-born, but Floridians at heart, the Tancks create all types of handcrafted art glass, including jewelry, window panels, stepping stones, tables, sun catchers, vases , kaleidoscopes, incense burners, night lights and more. They work together, using a variety of processes to create their art which include fusing, slumping, elad caning, foiling and soldering.

The Cedar Keyhole, a 21 artist co-op, is located on 2nd St. and is open seven days a week except on Christmas and Thanksgiving, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
